Free printmaking in Stoke

Funding will support artist fees, materials, access costs and a final public exhibition.

How it works

One funder.
Its own way of asking.

ArtsFunded is not one generic writing box. Each route shapes the questions, guidance, language and limits used to prepare your application.

01

Find the right route

Choose a fund or use the free finder. Check its current status and the main fit questions.

02

Give us your notes messy is fine

Answer the funder’s questions. Research credits can find cited evidence; review credits help reveal weak or missing detail.

03

Leave with a full draft

Generate every answer in the right structure and limits. Check facts and commitments, edit, then export for the funder’s portal.

Free interactive funder finder

Find a strong first route for your idea.

Tell us who is applying, where you are based and what you want to fund. See a route worth exploring, then check detailed fit and current guidance in the full finder.

Privacy and security

Your project information deserves care.

Your notes are used for the writing, research or review you ask for. You check the final application before submitting it.

Private account

Saved notes and drafts stay linked to your account. You can delete saved work from your dashboard.

Protected data

Encrypted in transit with TLS and protected at rest by the primary hosting and database providers.

No public-model training

ArtsFunded does not sell your application content or use it to train public AI models.

Fair questions

Know what you are getting.

Your project and final decisions stay with you.

What is free?

A genuine Project Summary written from your notes. No card is required. You pay only if you choose to continue.

Which funders can I draft for?

Choose from the available drafting routes shown above. Open the full funder list to see what is available, coming soon or guidance only. A drafting route being available does not mean the funder is accepting applications today.

What do the credits pay for?

The £49 pack includes a complete draft generation credit. The £70 pack adds review and condense credits. The £99 pack adds a research credit too. You can see your Project Summary before choosing a pack.

Will the draft sound like me?

It starts with your notes and answers, not a made-up project. Give specific details in your own words, then read and edit the draft so it still sounds like you.

Will it invent facts?

ArtsFunded is designed to flag missing information. You must check figures, partners, dates, evidence and commitments before submitting.

Can I prepare a draft before a fund opens?

For an available drafting route, you can prepare working material ahead of its application window. Check the official funder guidance and dates before you submit.

Does ArtsFunded submit the application?

No. You check the working draft and submit it through the funder’s official portal.

Start with the project you actually have.

Bullet points, half-sentences and unfinished ideas are enough for the free Project Summary.
